Have you ever felt like you’re constantly doing, but rarely being? Like you’re chasing success but slowly losing connection to yourself in the process?

In this conversation, I sit down with the incredible Karen Bartholomew, founder of The Pause Method, to talk about what it really means to slow down without falling behind.

Karen’s story begins where so many of ours do, in that quiet moment of exhaustion when we realize the pace we’re keeping isn’t sustainable. Over 14 years ago, she found herself burned out, unfulfilled, and questioning what “success” even meant. That question became her turning point.

Through her own transformation, Karen created The Pause Method: a framework that helps women and leaders create intentional space for reflection, clarity, and conscious action. Because here’s the truth: your next level doesn’t come from doing more… it comes from pausing long enough to remember who you are.

Together, we dive deep into what it means to release old beliefs, make decisions from alignment instead of obligation, and lead from a place of peace, not pressure. Karen reminds us that pausing isn’t a sign of weakness, but rather wisdom.

This episode is an invitation — to stop running long enough to breathe, to trust the stillness, and to build a life and business that actually feel good on the inside.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

  • How to use reflection as a tool for growth and clarity
  • Why “hustle” isn’t the badge of honor we’ve been taught it is
  • How to redefine success on your own terms
  • Practical ways to pause, reset, and lead from alignment
  • Why slowing down can actually accelerate your results

If you’ve been craving a moment to just be, this episode will meet you right where you are.

🎧 Press play and let this be your permission to pause.
